    Hi,
    For my forum, I would like the Announcements channel to have posts only from me (the admin). What privileges do I need to tick and untick?

    Clear all of the select boxes. By default, administrators will get all permissions, but anyone else accessing will be view only.

    Thanks @phenomlab! If I ever what to reset to the original settings, is that possible after Save?
    Also, do you think my idea of restricting the Announcement section is a good idea? Is that what you would’ve done also?

    @mventures I do the same, so yes, good idea. There’s no reason as to why anyone needs to post there except admins (and perhaps mods)

    You can’t “reset” the permissions to default, but you can copy from another category that has the default permissions as shown below

    And save.

    Shouldn’t users be able to reply and vote on Admin topics though? Maybe, those need to stay ticked and all else unticked?

    @Panda it will use SMTP. In all cases, I never use any plugin to send email. I’ll always send it raw.

    @Panda as, yes, now I understand and that makes 100% sense. It means those who get down voted can still have an opinion and use common services. And yes, you’re right. Rather than down vote, just ignore if you don’t agree.

    OK, I think I have figured out how to place a link in the footer which will click to a new page.

    @cagatay You could experiment with nodebb-plugin-ns-embed but I expect the x-origin tag on the remote site to prevent playback.

    mark hi, Refused to apply style from ‘https://efelsefe.com/assets/customfonts/FontAwesome-6-Pro/pro/css/v4-font-face.css’ because its MIME type (‘text/plain’) is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled. I keep getting this error.
